This is a book about what it feels like to be exceptional - and
what it takes to get there. Why can some people achieve greatness
when others can't, no matter how hard they try? What are the
secrets of long life and happiness? Just how much potential does
our species have? In this inspirational book, New Scientist
Managing Editor Rowan Hooper takes us on a tour of the peaks of
human achievement. We sit down with some of the world's finest
minds, from a Nobel-prize winning scientist to a double
Booker-prize winning author; we meet people whose power of focus
has been the difference between a world record and death; we learn
from international opera stars; we go back in time with memory
champions, and we explore the transcendent experience of
ultrarunners. We meet people who have rebounded from near-death,
those who have demonstrated exceptional bravery, and those who have
found happiness in the most unexpected ways. Drawing on interviews
with a wide range of superhumans as well as those who study them,
Hooper assesses the science of peak potential, reviewing the role
of genetics alongside the famed 10,000 hours of practice. For
anyone who ever felt that they might be able to do something
extraordinary in life, for those who simply want to succeed, and
for anyone interested in incredible human stories, Superhuman is a
must-read.
